New:Lori 'Minky' Radcliffe, RN, BS, CFNC, CFPC, Founder of Certified Fitness Nurse� Academy, @loriminkyrad:"At CertifiedFitnessNurseCoach.com we are not personal trainers who happen to be nurses. We show nurses how to stay in the health care industry and promote exercise within a 'not-so-healthy' pre-diabetic population;and NOT try to be a nurse in the fitness 'percieved healthy' industry. Just as waist reduction is 20% exercise and 80% diet; Certified Fitness Nurse� Coaches are 20% fitness and 80% nursing in our practice. We teach a physical-environmental-financial-social-emotional model... like a nursing assessment.
We offer a 23-hour certification course for nurses who are fitness enthusiasts, who want to help pre-diabetics, with a specifically designed program for them, that will improve their health and reduce their waists in a sustainable manner. This is done through a 12-week group coaching course via the computer, video and telephone. We also teach you how to get started with only a few clients working part-time, from home and making full time money in a scalable business model. The physician and other health care professionals are actually where we get our clients and we utilize a fitness nursing assessment to determine the right minimum effective dose (M.E.D.) of diet, exercise and supplementation, the right client and the right time, which are the 3 Rights of a Certified Fitness Nurse� Coach."

Should You Incorporate Your Registry Business? By Joseph Caracci, RN:"The short answer is yes! When starting a new nurse registry business, you are entering into a legal business environment that requires you to take steps to protect your personal assets, such as your home, your savings, and your retirement. With this in mind, you need to determine which legal form you are going to take for your new registry. Some of the common choices are a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a limited liability partnership (LLP), a limited liability company (LLC), and a corporation."

Re: Amanda Trujillo: Open Letter to The Honorable Janice K. Brewer, #Arizona Governor, @GregMercer #nurseup #amandatrujillo
Re Amanda Trujillo: Open Letter to The Honorable Janice K. Brewer, Arizona Governor
i1 VotePlease learn more about the important ongoing case of RN Amanda Trujillo, a conscientious Nurse who has been punished strikingly severely for providing routine patient education that inconvenienced and angered a physician who demanded her job and her license. Her State BON has still not decided her case after a year, and she remains an unemployed single mother.
For a fine summary of the known facts, see ” thenerdynurse.com/2012/01/arizona-nurse-has-license-threatened-by-doctor-after-providing-patient-education.html ” If, as I and many others have after much research and reflection, you find her cause worthy and just, please participate in our advocacy campaign. It requires little commitment, cost, or effort:
wp.me/s278fi-178
As part of this effort, I have respectfully submitted the following by e-mail and the preferable snail mail:
“The Honorable Janice K. Brewer, Arizona Governor…
Governor Brewer,
As a concerned citizen and Nurse, I wish to make you aware of a matter that troubles me, and increasingly, many others.
Roughly one year ago, Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center in Arizona terminated RN Amanda Trujillo from her Nursing position there. The case has been researched and described in detail by many Nursing bloggers: for an example, see http://thenerdynurse.com/2012/01/arizona-nurse-has-license-threatened-by-doctor-after-providing-patient-education.html There are too many other examples to list here in the time I have available, and countless new mentions arise daily – I have been unable to take them all in myself despite some significant effort – on various Social Media fora. The circumstances leading to this action have led many to suspect that her rights may not have been respected in this matter, that her termination was a disproportionate and unjust response to proper and professionally required patient education that reportedly inconvenienced and cost potential revenue to a staff physician who was witnessed having a tantrum in open hospital areas, leading to a demand that she lose her job and license to practice.

The ANA Finally Talks About the Amanda Trujillo Case - Nurse Ratched’s Place, #nurseup @motherjones #amandatrujillo
Feb2012 Author: Mother Jones, RNHear ye, hear ye, the great and magnificent ANA has made a statement about the Amanda Trujillo case. Well it’s about time. It only took a firestorm in the blogosphere to make you speak. Your slow response was noted. I’m sure you needed extra time to precisely craft your statement about Amanda’s case because you’ve really screwed things up.
This is their comment about Amanda’s case:
“ANA is closely monitoring the case of Amanda Trujillo, MSN, RN, and has been in contact with her attorney. ANA strongly supports nurses and their right and responsibility to engage in patient education and advocacy. ANA appreciates how difficult it is for a nurse to undergo an investigation of his or her practice by the state board of nursing. To be clear, ANA expects the Arizona Board of Nursing to follow its standard procedure, to render an unbiased judgment in this case, and to be fully transparent in its findings.
ANA advises that any nurse who has been alerted by the board of a complaint and an impending investigation retain legal counsel. It is the role of legal counsel to represent the nurse during the process. In addition, ANA cautions nurses and the public not to rush to judgments about complex cases based on social media postings or other media coverage.”
Seriously, ANA? What a cop out. Amanda wrote to the ANA MONTHS ago and heard nothing from your so called leadership. But that’s OK. I’m sure that your leadership were far too busy to deal with Amanda because they were chumming around with Teri Wicker, the president of the Arizona Nurses Association and one of the Banner Health Care nurses who fired Amanda. I wish someone from the ANA would explain how they could have contacted Amanda’s attorney since she doesn’t have one right now because she is looking for one that has more experience in this type of case. And besides ANA, I think it’s really creepy that you would contact Amanda’s attorney without talking to her first. I guess you forgot that she is a member of your organization. And that whole thing about social media? Get ready ANA. The firestorm is just beginning. People are listening to nurse bloggers and the media because they can’t get the truth from any other source. I know you that must really scare you because you can’t handle the truth.

7 Free #Tools That #Nurse #Entrepreneurs Should Be Using, @icoachnurses #nursefriendly #nursingentrepreneurs #entrepreneurship
7 Free Tools That Nurse Entrepreneurs Should Be Using
The Internet is littered with programs, apps, and plug-ins that all have the potential of being valuable tools for your business. Testing, researching, and exploring these gadgets and gizmos, however, could be a full-time job! In my never-ending quest to find the hippest, hottest, and most efficient options for my EntrpreNurses, I have come up with a list of 7 “must have” free helper tools for business professionals:
1. TwitCleaner : Because it’s about the QUALITY not the QUANTITY of your Twitter Followers. Twitcleaner weeds the “junk” out of your Twitter Followers and leaves you with a solid, viable, and active base. Shady followers, self-absorbed followers, and inactive followers are all compiled into a Twitcleaner provided report for you and gives you the option to leave them be, or unfollow.
2. Bubbl.us: If you are a fan of Mind-Mapping, this super cool site let’s you create your own custom, colorful Mind-Maps that you can store, share, and update for later. “Brainstorm online with bubbl.us.”
3. Google Alerts: One of the keys to success is to research and monitor everything connected to your industry. Google Alerts helps you track activity on the Internet when a specific keyword is mentioned. Google Alerts help in:
- monitoring a developing news story
- keeping current on a competitor or industry
- getting the latest on a celebrity or event
- keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams
Set up an Alert for your business name and it will give you a cyber “heads-up” via email whenever your name is mentioned on-line. You can also set it for industry-related keywords to track news and updates in your field.
4. Google Boomerang: This nifty little tool is a Firefox / Chrome plugin that lets you take control of when you send and receive email messages. Need to send something Friday but afraid you won’t remember? Write it, Boomerang it, and it will automatically send on the date and time you desire. No more “oh crap I forgot!”or “did I hear back from them or not?”
5. Skype: Don’t rack up minutes on your phone! Use Skype to speak with clients, business partners, and suppliers. Opt to use the camera feature and actually see who you are talking to as well. If you find yourself ringing up hefty long distance bills, start asking clients and friends to Skype you. Works for international calls as well. There are packages you can pay for too, but that depends on your individual calling needs. Plus the funky little noise Skype makes when it boots up is pretty cool
6. Freshbooks : Freshbooks it a pretty sweet accounting and invoicing site that makes both less painful. It’s completely FREE for your first three clients. You can track expenses, create time sheets and log hours on projects. I am groovin’ on the Timer. It’s a way to keep real-time records of when projects start and end. Bring up the Start/Stop Timer tab, pick what task you are performing for which client, and start the Timer. When your done, click “Log Hours” and it automatically logs your time for you under that client for later billing.
7. AWeber: Building an email list is still important for any business. Remember you own your email list, you don’t own your Twitter followers or Facebook fans. AWeber is a great platform and makes creating and analyzing email campaigns really easy. However the best part is it is super cheap for up to 500 subscribers on your list. So when you’re just starting out it is a good way to test out all the features of an email marketing campaign without actually paying much at all.
There’s 7 Little Nuggest Of Entrepreneur Gold for you! I’d love to hear your top picks for free tools, apps and plug-ins. Use the comment below and share some of your favs!

How American Health Care Killed My Father
After the needless death of his father, the author, a business executive, began a personal exploration of a health-care industry that for years has delivered poor service and irregular quality at astonishingly high cost. It is a system, he argues, that is not worth preserving in anything like its current form. And the health-care reform now being contemplated will not fix it. Here’s a radical solution to an agonizing problem.
By David Goldhill
Illustration by Mark Hooper Almost two years ago, my father was killed by a hospital-borne infection in the intensive-care unit of a well-regarded nonprofit hospital in New York City. Dad had just turned 83, and he had a variety of the ailments common to men of his age. But he was still working on the day he walked into the hospital with pneumonia. Within 36 hours, he had developed sepsis. Over the next five weeks in the ICU, a wave of secondary infections, also acquired in the hospital, overwhelmed his defenses. My dad became a statistic—merely one of the roughly 100,000 Americans whose deaths are caused or influenced by infections picked up in hospitals. One hundred thousand deaths: more than double the number of people killed in car crashes, five times the number killed in homicides, 20 times the total number of our armed forces killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Another victim in a building American tragedy.

The saddest part of this story is that it is happening every day in our hospitals to your friends, family and loved ones. Often the truth is never revealed to the public for fear of liability.

Amanda Trujillo | WhiteCoat's Call Room, Emergency Physicians Monthly, #nurseup #amandatrujillo @bannerhealth
Amanda Trujillo
I finally took the time to read some other blogs today. One of the issues that I found disturbing was the case of Amanda Trujillo.
There are a lot of bits and pieces out there about what actually happened in this case. This blog post was reportedly an e-mail from Amanda describing the events. A summary of the post follows.
Amanda was a registered nurse of six years , specializing in cardiology, geriatrics, and end of life/palliative care.
In April 2011, she was caring for a dying patient at Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center who had agreed to a major invasive surgery recommended by a staff surgeon.
Amanda used materials from her hospital to educate the patient about the details of the surgery and the aftercare.
The patient became upset, stating that the surgeon never explained details of the surgery or what had to be done after the surgery (complex lifetime daily self care).
Amanda also discovered that the patient “had no idea” that surgery could be refused or that the patient could enroll in hospice care. She educated the patient on those options as well.
Afterwards, the patient requested a case management consult to visit with hospice.
Amanda documented her discussions with the patient and informed the nurse at shift change that the surgeon needed to clear up a “gross misunderstanding” the patient had about the surgery.
“The surgeon became enraged, threw a well witnessed tantrum in the nursing station, refused to let the patient visit with hospice, and insisted I be fired and my license taken.”
She was fired and she is not able to find employment due to the actions taken against her license.As a result of this incident, Amanda’s career has been destroyed. She is a single mom with three nursing degrees and now, unemployed and unemployable, she has no other option than public aid to feed her family.
Back in 1913, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once wrote:
“Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.”I’ve tweeted to Amanda to contact me so that I can get more information from her. If the above events can be substantiated, what happened to Amanda was deplorable. And if the events can be substantiated, I’m going to shine some sunlight on the actions of other parties involved.

ANA Finally Acknowledges RN Amanda Trujillo | Notes from the Nurses' Station
ANA Finally Acknowledges RN Amanda Trujillo
February 9th, 2012
By Jennifer Olin, BSN, RN
Yesterday, February 8, 2012, the American Nurses Association (ANA) finally, sort of, addressed the issue of Arizona nurse Amanda Trujillo and her firing by Banner Health for what they claim was a breach of her nursing scope of practice. This story has taken the nursing social media world by storm in the past few weeks since Trujillo reached outsider her home state for support.
Seeking the help of nurse bloggers across the country was not Trujillo’s initial response. Back in April, 2010, when the whole mess erupted she reached out to the organization she has been paying annual dues to for years and had even very recently donated $100 to for the ANA political fund.
”They never answered any of my emails for help or even acknowledged my emails,” Trujillo said this morning. “They didn’t return my calls either.” She flat out received no response from the national or state office—until yesterday.
So what sparked this sudden appearance of interest from an organization that claims to represent the 3.1 million nurses in this country? Bad press from the blogosphere is my guess.
Here is what the ANA said:
”The American Nurses Association is closely monitoring the case of Amanda Trujillo, MSN, RN, and has been in contact with her attorney. ANA strongly supports nurses and their right and responsibility to engage in patient education and advocacy.
”ANA appreciates how difficult it is for a nurse to undergo an investigation of his or her practice by the state board of nursing. To be clear, ANA expects the Arizona Board of Nursing to follow its standard procedure, to render an unbiased judgment in this case, and to be fully transparent in its findings.
”ANA is the professional association for the nation’s 3.1 million registered nurses (RNs). Since its inception in 1896, ANA has established, promoted and maintained professional nursing practice through the development of foundational documents such as the Code of Ethics for Nurses and Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice.
”State nurse practice acts are the laws that define scope of practice with the intent of protecting the public. The laws also establish qualifications for practice as well as what constitutes unprofessional conduct or misconduct and associated disciplinary procedures when a complaint is filed against a nurse. The board of nursing is responsible for ensuring nurses are competent and do not exceed their scope of practice. Therefore, it investigates complaints, holds hearings, and renders findings.
”ANA advises that any nurse who has been alerted by the board of a complaint and an impending investigation retain legal counsel. It is the role of legal counsel to represent the nurse during the process. In addition, ANA cautions nurses and the public not to rush to judgments about complex cases based on social media postings or other media coverage.
”Professional associations, nurse practice acts, and state boards of nursing all play a vital role in protecting the public and the profession. ANA encourages nurses to seek out and apply resources that support them in their professional practice. “
Well, at least they are acknowledging there is a problem. The public, and in particular I mean the 3.1 million of us who are nurses and anyone who ever has been or will go to the hospital, has a right to know about this and they wouldn’t get all their info from “social media or other media coverage” if the ANA had spoken up sooner.
Please Explain
There are some questions that arise from this press release, the least of which is did the ANA really talk to Trujillo’s attorney? He never said so and he was recently let go by Trujillo in order to retain someone with more experience in these kinds of cases. So either the ANA never talked to him, or they did and he kept it to himself, or they tried to and he didn’t work for her anymore so really he couldn’t say anything.
And this is my favorite line, the “ANA encourages nurses to seek out and apply resources that support them in their professional practice.” Isn’t that what Trujillo tried to do by contacting the ANA?
It has now been 10 months since Trujillo lost her job for assessing that a patient, who was going to be worked up for a procedure, did not really understand what they were in for. There was a question in her mind as to whether the patient really had given fully informed consent. She provided the patient with teaching materials and requested a case management consult, including information about hospice care. That requested consult is the supposed breach of scope of practice.
Following her dismissal, Banner Health filed a complaint with the Arizona State Board of Nursing (ASBN) and now Trujillo sits, waiting to find out if she will continue to be a nurse in good standing or lose her license.
In all the months since Trujillo was let go, neither the ASBN nor Banner Health have chosen to comment on the situation except to say she is under investigation and the Banner does not discuss employee issues.
So, is it just sour grapes that she was being ignored that made Trujillo reach out to us, the nurses who write in public forums? I don’t think so and I asked her about it.
”Oh geez, no! I mean if it were about getting even who could hold out this long or have the energy for the campaign my daughter and I have been on for ten months now (she has been a very big part of this fight). And, for that matter who would put up with the number of doors that have been slammed in my face,” Trujillo told me.
”If this were about revenge, I would not have had the sheer determination to endure the challenges of this past year. It’s about lives; nurses and patients. I took an oath to get the RN after my name, and walking away from the battle would mean knowingly turning away from what I know was wrong and damaging to my patients—the lack of information they had and the denial of the very basic right to self determination when they were refused the right to see hospice,” Trujillo continued.
”If I stay silent; if I turn my back; if I ignore what happened and call it a day; collect my paycheck and go home—that is the day I need to walk away from nursing. That will be the day I have placed my own needs, wants, desires, well-being, and protection above those in my charge,” she said.
”We all nurse differently. I respect that and love that about our profession. We all have such amazing things to bring into nursing, and this is what I have to bring to the table; I make no apologies for it. I stand for what I believe is right and just—especially when there is potential harm on the horizon for both my colleagues and patients and our profession as a whole,” she continued.
”If we do not do something now, this is going to keep happening. I mean, it’s happening right now as we speak. I can’t collect a paycheck at the expense of the lives of my patients and their families. I understand the publicity with the Texas nurses was scary. I get the publicity the Nevada pediatric nurses received was even scarier—who would want to report after seeing all of our stories.
”But if nurses like me don’t put their foot down and do the right thing—not the easy thing—then people will get hurt, people will die, and our profession will suffer enormous consequences. It all comes down to one thing: when you consider whether to fight for what is just and what is right, if you are thinking of the moral imperative to do what "is right for the sake of doing right" and nothing else then the solution is easy. You keep talking, you keep knocking on doors, you keep emailing, you keep sending letters, you keep tweeting, you keep trying, and you keep fighting "UNTIL." The choice to act, the decision to stand up and speak loudly only becomes difficult when you allow the interests of "self preservation and protection" into the equation. “
Everything Trujillo says sounds very noble. And unless like me, and select group of others, you have heard it from her directly you may not buy it. What I can say is she is very passionate about what happened to her and could have happened to her patient. And, she deserves to at least be acknowledged by her peers and the organizations she has dutifully belonged to for years.
